He would have been better off revving up the base and using his 24/7 propaganda apparatus to continue muddying the waters and hope Putin decides to help him again in 2020 -- way less risk and a lot higher chance of success.

Personally, I think that is way too sophisticated for Trump and would require someone with nerves of steel, which Dotard does not have. Sure, he's good at managing a news cycle, when it's a firing or some "Trump is imploding behind closed doors" type of BS, but a House investigation with legal teeth is a whole different ballgame. Not to mention the bombshells that have already emerged -- what else is coming in the months of testimony and investigations that are about to be unleashed? The non-Cult public is already starting to sense that this is a game changer, and that will only continue.

Regardless, Democrats have to impeach now and let the chips fall.
